AMA for Elden Henson

[(Anonymous)]

SO, someone posted an AMA request for Elden Henson. However the Reddit daredevil community hates him. Can we get some upvotes for him?

Unfortunately slash fandom is really the only place where Foggy is popular (and lbr he's mostly popular because we're shipping him with Matt) but at least you're in the right place to find some upvotes, good on you for trying.

Can I just say that I'm not a slasher, and I love Elden as Foggy...?

Agreed. That statement seemed like a pretty blanket statement with no real data to back it up.

Lots of people, slash shippers or no, enjoy not just Foggy as a character, but Elden Henson as an actor. In addition to Daredevil (which has many, many fans outside of "fandom" who probably like him just fine and are valid), he also was in Hunger Games recently and has had an extraordinarily long career as a child actor. He probably has some really fin stories about his fellow 90's child stars and the many projects he's been a part of.

It seems odd and reductive for someone to be like "Awww,nice of you to try, but good luck finding many people who like him" about it.

Also, "good on you for trying" is really patronizing...

I read people dont like him for the reason that he is a comedy relief on the show and they dont put him to do much. I se this case with Laurel on Arrow, she is probably the most hated person on the fandom, they complain about everythign she does and seriously, the woman playing ehr do a good job but some fans just look into things too much and find every excuse to hate her.

the one that made the comment said that Foggy is popular because he is paired with Matt and taht's just bs I wasnt a shipper when i started on this fandom. The works and everything was the reason i started to like them as a couple.
